Partick Thistle's terrifying yet loveable mascot Kingsley will be among the runners for today's Santa Dash.

The annual 5k fun run sees around 6,000 people take to the streets of Glasgow to raise money for charity, doing a lap of the city from George Square, taking in Finneston Street, Oswald Street, Argyle Street and more.

And if the runners need an extra burst of speed, the sight of Kingsley running up behind them may do the trick.

"They’re an all-round amazing cause and the Jags’ charity of the year which makes it even more brilliant. It’s great to see so many Santa’s getting ready for Christmas by doing a 5k to support our charity!”

Beatson mascot Bella Beatson will also be joining the runners.

Bella Beatson said: “It’s my first Santa Dash and it’s un’bee’lievable to see so many people supporting Beatson Cancer Charity! I’m totally ‘buzzing’ about running alongside all the Santas and Kingsley in our determination to beat cancer.”

The Santa Dash sets off at 10am today (Sunday) - from road closures to taking part or cheering on the runners, here's everything you need to know.
